Carers, Celtic Connections
That the Parliament acknowledges the contribution
of Letters, Life and Love Stories, A Concert for Carers, which
took place in Glasgow Royal Hall, in raising awareness of the carer journey;
highlights the collaboration between music and the third sector to celebrate
carers; thanks Celtic Connections, Regular Music and the Health and Social Care
Alliance, in particular the Dementia Carer Voices team, including Tommy
Whitelaw and Irene Oldfather, for their efforts in organising the carer
reception and concert attended by the Deputy First Minister and politicians
from across the political spectrum; notes that all artists performed free of charge
to support the venture; applauds the work of Scotland’s army of 660,000 carers,
who, it considers, work tirelessly to support vulnerable people across
Scotland; recognises the breadth of organisations supporting the venture and,
in particular, the key partners supporting carers on the night, including Age
Scotland, Alzheimer Scotland, the Care Inspectorate, Carers Link, Carers
Scotland, Carers Trust, Carr Gomm, Glasgow Caledonian University, Healthcare
Improvement Scotland, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Patient Opinion,
Quarriers, Sense Scotland and Unity Enterprise; understands that every day
almost 500 people take on a caring responsibility and that three in five people
will become carers at some point in their lives, and therefore congratulates
all involved on their efforts to show that Scotland cares.
